About The El Dorado
Spend your retirement years enjoying the peaceful and serene setting of The El Dorado. This two-story, brick community is settled on a scenic campus, adorned with cherry blossoms and crepe myrtle. You can also choose from multiple studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartment homes. The El Dorado aims to provide you with the services you need to live as stress-free as possible. Three, nutritious meals are served daily, and 24-hour emergency response services are provided, too. For those who’d benefit from additional assistance, custom-tailored health and personal care options are available for a small fee. Take a stroll around the scenic courtyard with your pup, or treat yourself to some pampering in the salon and barber shop.

An open lobby, a beautiful pathway outside for people to walk. It is designed to build community. The senior center is nearby. Great location. Great setting. Grea…

Nothing could be better. It is a wonderful community. I would recommend to others.

PositiveWhat a wonderful experience! This facility is lovely. There are lots of activities and they are inclusive. They encourage the residents to be active and they are welcoming to the family members as well. The facility was very clean. Everyone we met was so nice, including the residence we interacted with. Our tour guide was very helpful and knowlegable. She was pretty much the biggest reason for us to want to move mom into this facility. Very updated. Can't say enough good.

PositiveGreat staff, food needs improvement
The director is wonderful, always walking through the open areas visiting with people during meals. She knows everyone’s name and makes them feel welcome. She is very responsive to family members when there is a concern. After 6-7 months though, mom still has not fully adjusted, in part because it’s like high school all over again, complete with cliques and mean girls in the dining hall. The activities don’t interest Mom, but she loves the large onsite library. Her room is nice with lots of closet space and a beaut…

PositiveNo, friendlier place could be had than the El rotaldo sky apartments.
I found living here a very favorable experience. And with many enjoyable experiences all around. Apartments here Come as, two bedroom, one bedroom and two sizes of studios.

I would highly recommend the Eldorado sky apartments to someone who was looking for a community. they are very welcoming.
